@Lilimapute @davidaugust oh yeah. I missed that. See, these sample sizes are so small and then they're reported on like it's a huge breakthrough. I mean, I'd love to have said coffee saved my life. 🤣

@NerdRage42 @Lilimapute Thank you for sharing that!

And nothing wrong with waiting more than 3 days for things to get peer reviewed too. 😉

If a sample size bears out statistically sound notable results, study sizes do not need to conform to our preference for higher numbers.

That's a big if, yes. This study may not satisfy it, but we don't need to discount a study based on a participant number we don't _feel_ like is big enough either.
